What Are Fixed RF Antennas?
RF Antennas are the primary method for RF communication and sensing systems to convert electrical signals to RF and vice versa. A subset of RF antennas is fixed antennas, which is mainly a description of how they are mounted, installed and generally used. A fixed antenna is any RF antenna that is incapable of motion or steering that is fixed rigidly to a platform. The platform used to support...
RF Fixed Coaxial Attenuators Explained
RF Attenuators are widely used throughout the RF/microwave systems to reduce the signal strength in a signal chain for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it is merely advantageous to lower the signal strength at the output of a RF attenuator without otherwise distorting the signal characteristics. As RF attenuators are typically passive reciprocal devices, an RF attenuator is an ideal in-line...
